Let's Meet

This is a personal project I worked on during my spare time. It's an online application that allows anyone to create an event to be scheduled, share it with a potentially large number of participants, and schedule it on a date that best suits their availability. The application is based on Elixir/Phoenix in the back end and Vue.js in the front end.
